How does road rage affect your driving?

I’ve read that road rage can affect the way that you drive, but I’m not really sure how that works. Even when I’m frustrated, I feel like I can still make safe choices on the road! What does road rage do that makes you an unsafe driver?

It’s great that you’re able to keep making safe choices even when you’re frustrated!
Road rage
can affect your driving because it leads to aggressive behavior that could result in bodily harm to others on the road.
While getting frustrated might not impact your driving, road rage might include behaviors like:
  • Rude hand gestures
  • Aggressive or threatening driving maneuvers
  • Verbal insults
  • Physical altercations
People experiencing road rage might endanger other drivers on the road in order to harm another person. The rash and sometimes violent decisions made by those experiencing road rage make them unsafe drivers.
